The iW4 brings the convenience of Apple AirPlay to your nightstand in a compact clock radio that uses your iPad, iPod, or iPhone to best advantage. First, the iW4 is AirPlay-compatible, which means it can conveniently stream music over your Wi-Fi&reg; network from computers and Apple portable devices. You can also dock your Apple device and turn it into a versatile, fully programmable alarm system using free downloadable apps from iHome. The system also features an FM tuner with six presets, and a large, easy-to-read LCD display.

The AirPlay advantage

AirPlay lets you enjoy music from any iTunes library in your home — whether it's stored on your computer, iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. And if you're streaming from your PC, you can use your Apple portable as a remote and select songs, playlists and adjust volume right from the palm of your hand.

Do even more with iHome apps

Four free iHome apps make the iW4 even easier to use with your Apple portable.

The iHome Connect gets you off to a good start by helping you integrate the system into your home Wi-Fi network quickly.

Forget punching buttons to set the time or change the alarm. The iHome Set app lets you do all that quickly right from your Apple portable. Set the system's clock, lock in radio presets, even install firmware updates wirelessly from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

The iHome+Sleep app turns your docked device into a super alarm clock. Use the interactive menu to set multiple alarms with sound effects or music. Touch the screen and see current weather and a one-day forecast.

With the iHome+Radio app, your docked Apple portable becomes an Internet radio tuner. Suddenly you'll have access to tens of thousands of Internet radio stations from around the world, featuring music, news, sports, and talk — and all free.

Apple Dock: The iW4 features a universal dock design that supports charging, audio
playback, basic control, and app-enhanced communication for the Apple iPad,

iW4 supports playback of your iPod's, iPhone's, and iPad's stored music files
and music apps with basic playback control (Play/Pause, Fast Forward/Rewind, and
Previous/Next). Advanced music navigation can still be done through your iPod/iPhone/iPad's

stream high-quality audio directly from your Apple iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad
(all without the need to dock the device). The iW4 & your Apple device or

Small and fiddley buttons

Written By Gunners01, Charlotte, nc on Tuesday, December 17, 2013

Decent sound quality, good features, but not very intuitive and the buttons are tiny and fiddley. I like that it connects to home wifi and can use AirPlay.

Extremely Underwhelming

The concept of an Airplay clock radio has great promise. iHome has completely underwhelmed in its execution. As a first generation product, the iW4 is plagued with several deficiencies. Two of the most notable issues: ---The wireless connection continually drops on the unit requiring a reset of the wireless connection. I have an airplay receiver on the same network that is rock solid and always recognized by my iOS devices so this would seem to indicate an issue with the iW4. If you do purchase I would recommend attaching this to a powerline solution. ---The radio has built in battery back up. While this is great, there is, again, a flaw in the iW4 execution of this. If the power is switched to battery backup, when AC power returns, the unit speakers will not work without physically unplugging the unit to hard reset it. The alaem is powered through the speakers. I had a power outage overnight. While the alarm went off at the prescribed time, there was no audible notification due to this bug. So I awoke about an hour past the alarm time setting. ---Would be great if iHome would make an app that would allow remote control of the iW4. Seems easy enough and would be a nice enhancement. ---The battery bug can probably be fixed through a firmware update, although, I doubt iHome releases regular firmware updates.

I would recommend against purchasing the first generation of this product. And, based on my experience I will most likely steer clear of future iHome purchas

Pros:Concept and potential of an airplay clock radio. Unfortunately, I doubt iHome's ability to execute the vision.
